Upon eligibility, Fidelity Investments will send you an enrollment email to your work email on file. If you do not have a work email, an enrollment postcard will be mailed to your home address.

Your contributions Direct Link

You may contribute a portion of your pay (up to the 2023 IRS annual limit of $22,500) to your 401(k) account. If you are 50 years of age or older in 2023, you are eligible to make an additional $7,500 in "catch-up" contributions.

Your contributions are not taxed until they are taken out of the plan, which means you have less current taxable income. You may change, stop or start your contributions at any time by contacting Fidelity. You are always 100% vested in your contributions.

You may roll over your account balance from a prior qualified retirement plan to this Plan. Contact Fidelity at 800-835-5091 for information.

* Contributions for highly-compensated partners (as defined by the IRS) may be lower due to IRS testing.
